The purpose of the Working Paper Series (WPS) is to provide an opportunity to IRMA faculty, visiting fellows, and students to sound out their ideas and research work before publication and to get feedback and comments from their peer group. A Working Paper is not to be considered a formal research publication of the Institute.

Note of the Humanity Development Library CD-ROM Editors:

We thank IRMA for its cooperation and kind authorization to add useful publications on our CD-ROM and online editions. We are adding a sample of the most relevant IRMA working papers to illustrate the high quality of ideas and research being pursued and to catalyse the sharing of ideas, information and studies from South to South.
